Good News For Someone

++Bloomberg reported the U.S. public and private debt is the lowest in 6 years.

++Reuters reported that unemployment claims are now the lowest in four years.

++the Foreclosure rate, as reported by the Los Angeles Times, is the lowest in five years.

++The Gallup tracking ticked down 1 point to Romney-48% and Obama 47%.

++Mark Halperin of Times magazine reports that the Romney team is trying to figure out a plan to win the election without O-H-I-O. This would mean we would see a transfer of staff and funds to other Swing States soon.

++The Last I looked and I dread looking again. Nate Silver had Obama at 293.5 EV and Princeton has him at 290. 

++Monmouth University or Monmouth College of my youth has a national poll showing that Obama is trailing Romney by a point. Obama 46 to Romney 47.

++To counter the gloom, the Obama campaign has released the figures on new Democratic registrations in the major Swing states. Over 900,000 new Democrats were registered in North Carolina. Rasmussen even concedes that Obama is doing surprisingly well in North Carolina,trailing Romney by three-Romney 51 to Obama 48.

++Tonight is Joe Biden versus Paul Ryan. One major theme ,believe it or not,Romney is gaining in the polls on is a perception that he is more bipartisan than Obama. Yesterday, he basically endorsed a bipartisan Senate healthcare plan that would also have demanded an individual mandate. Today, he suggested a one time amnesty for pre-existing conditions patients so they can get health insurance, although they now can under Obamacare. He has also criticized the stimulus because it wasn't bipartisan enough. Biden and Obama have to make it clear to the American people that the stimulus package accepted hundreds of Republican amendments and Obamacare contains over 200 Republican suggestions and the whole idea was originally thought up by the Heritage Foundation. Biden has to go after Ryan's budget and its effects on Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid.
